Other Rangers and Ranger-like allies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An "Other Ranger" is an unofficial designation for several characters in the Power Rangers franchise. It is a term for a Power Ranger that does not fit into the normal color designations of red, blue, yellow, black, pink, green, or white. These Power Rangers are often introduced later in each of the series, and have sometimes been evil before joining the core team. It is also common for Other Rangers to have slightly different costumes from their comrades, such as the addition of chest armor or a slightly altered visor. All "Other Rangers" usually have their own Zord, a separate type from those of the five main Rangers, that can either combine with the other Zords for increased power or transform into a single Zord Megazord, although both occurring is also a similar situation. Another term for "Other Ranger" is "Sixth Ranger," as they are often an additional sixth member to the core team of five (since Power Rangers: S.P.D., there have been additional Rangers past the sixth).

However, many "Sixth Rangers" can be classified into the normal color designations (Tommy Oliver, as the Green and then White Power Ranger, was a Sixth Ranger twice, but never an Other Ranger).

A "Ranger-like Ally" is an unofficial designation for characters that have allied themselves with the Power Rangers and have powers similar to that of the Power Rangers, but have not been specifically determined to be Power Rangers themselves. These characters usually stay in the form that they would fight in, because it is how they are physiologically. Characters such as Ninjor, the Blue Senturion, and the original Magna Defender fall into this category. Ranger-like Allies often have Zords, or have the ability to transform into a larger Zord-like form.

[edit] List of Ranger-like allies

Ninjor (voiced by Kim Strauss) was a ninja-like sage who assisted the Power Rangers in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. He is the creator of the original Power Coins, the Ninja Power Coins, the Ninjazords, and the Aquitian Rangers' Battle Borgs. He had the ability to grow to the size of the Megazords dubbed Ninjor Expansion Mode, and could also transform into a Battle Mode where he looked more like a samurai than a ninja.

• Appearance: Blue armor-like ninja gi with gold N emblem on chest. Has red accents in Battle Mode, and his various armors move to appear more samurai in appearance.
• Weapon: Katana with sheath

Auric the Conqueror (voiced by Derek Stephen Prince, uncredited) was an ancient Tiki that had laid dormant on Misterio Island until he was unlocked and assisted the Power Rangers in Power Rangers: Zeo. Tanya Sloan's parents found the tiki and sent it to their daughter. He was originally unlocked by Louie Kaboom, and was evil until the Zeo Rangers set him straight. He is usually seen as a small tiki idol with a keyhole in his face. When the Golden Key of Auric is inserted, he can transform into either a human- or Megazord-sized warrior. Auric prefers to talk situations through before resorting to violence, and has been known to revert to his statuette form whenever he got scared. When Jason Lee Scott became the Gold Ranger, Tanya chose him to be the keeper of Auric and his key. Presumably, when Jason passed on his position as the Gold Ranger back to Trey of Triforia, he, too, was made to be the keeper of Auric. Auric also likes to narrate his own victories.

• Appearance: Primarily blue robotic warrior with red, gold, and silver accents. His "cape" was actually the outer shell of his tiki form.
• Weapon: Sword

The Blue Senturion (voiced by David Walsh) is an intergalactic robotic police officer who aided the Rangers in Power Rangers: Turbo. His original purpose was to deliver the "Millennium Message" to the Turbo Rangers, until Divatox captured and reprogrammed him to destroy the Rangers. After he was reprogrammed again, he assisted the Rangers until going with Dimitria to help Zordon on Eltar. He took part along with the Phantom Ranger in the final battle against the United Alliance of Evil.

• Appearance: Blue robot with white head and accents; has red, yellow and blue traffic signals across his chest
• Weapons: Senturion Synergizer - Blaster/Baton Mode
• Vehicle: Senturion Cycle
• Zord/Megazord: Robo Racer

The original Magna Defender (voiced by Kerrigan Mahan) was more of a Ranger-like ally than a Power Ranger, but his successor, Mike Corbett, was more like a Power Ranger by having a Morphing device. The Magna Defender originally plotted revenge against Scorpius for killing his son Zika, but he died helping the Lost Galaxy Power Rangers. As his final gift, he gave Mike Corbett the Magna Defender powers that he had before he died.

• Appearance: Black armor with a red cape and a green hexagonal emblem, helmet with bull's horns.
• Weapon: Magna Sword/Magna Blaster
• Zord: Torozord
  • Megazord: Defender Torozord

• Ancient Mystic Mode: Leanbow; Red and purple horned warrior with a purple cape, as well as his own Sword and Shield. Looks like solid fire.

Clare (Antonia Prebble), Udonna's apprentice in Power Rangers: Mystic Force, held the powers of the Gatekeeper, the person with the magical ability to unlock the seal on the Gate to the Underworld. As the Gatekeeper, Clare donned a purple and white Arabian-style dress, and a silver tiara that her powers came from. Her powers are derived from the Moon as the Gatekeeper. She has currently used up all of the powers left in the tiara by her mother, the original Gatekeeper. Whether or not she may redevelop the powers on her own is currently unknown. She acquired her Gatekeeper abilities from her mother Niella.

• Appearance: Purple headress, white and purple dress, silver tiara
• Morpher: Gatekeeper's tiara
• Weapon: Gatekeeper's staff
• Ancient Mystic Mode: Shining Moon Warrior; silver woman with bell-like dress and purple veil

[edit] Notes

• Before S.P.D., every "Other Ranger" had been male.

• Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers didn't feature a special hero/Ranger. Its Japanese counterpart Kakuranger had NinjaMan, the Japanese counterpart of Ninjor.

• In Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue, there was the Titanium Ranger, which its Japanese counterpart Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGo-V did not feature.
